Core comment section hooks
3 replies · Started by Dan on May 19, 2021
I see there are some GP hooks for the comment area, but they were not quite in the place I wanted them. I thought I would be able to use an element with a custom hook of comment_notes_before or comment_note_after to add some text into the comment area. I thought these two hooks were part of the core, but I'm not able to get them working. They are at least listed here: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/comment_form_defaults/
I was able to get the custom hook comment_form_top working, though. So I know my process is correct.
Any ideas?
Hi there,
Yeah that's the way to do it.
GP uses the default core comment_form() for the actual forms.

And I believe you're trying to hook something within the actual comment form rather than the wrappers/containers of it. In that case, you'll have to scan through the core comment-template.php file and search for the do_action() hooks that fit your need.

Got it. Thanks!
No problem. :D
